This Star Wants To Retire

He Pingan, the second in command of the audit department, is stuffing tea in his tea mug at the moment.

After hearing the knock on the door, he said angrily, "Come in."

People who have been on the battlefield are just different. Even if they are older, whether it is their body shape, eyes, or tone of voice when they speak, they will be different from ordinary old people.

Zhong Lin pushed the door in with a folder, which contained the basic information of "The Return of the Great Sage".

"Zhong Lin, sit down, sit down." He Pingan said with a smile.

After Zhong Lin sat down on the small sofa, she put the folder on the table and said, "Yesterday, I reviewed a big animation movie sent by Luo Mo, called "The Return of the Great Sage"."

""The Return of the Great Sage"? What the Great Sage, the Monkey King?" He Pingan muttered the title of the film.

"Yes, it's about Journey to the West," Zhong Lin said.

He Ping'an nodded, and said, "Let's get straight to the point."

He glanced at Zhong Lin and said, "Is there something wrong with this film, you dare not give it to me, or is it something else?"

Zhong Lin said honestly: "The film is fine, there is nothing wrong with it."

"The reason why I specifically say this is because of a person on the production list."

"Grandpa, you should be interested in this person." Zhong Lin said.

"How many times have I said it, don't call me little grandpa in the work unit." He Pingan gave her a tiger-eyed look, and opened the folder to look at it helplessly.

He glanced down and was slightly taken aback when he saw a name.

"Huang Lun?" He looked up at Zhong Lin.

"Yeah." Zhong Lin nodded with a smile.

He Pingan couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I thought this old thing would never come out of the mountain again in this life."

At that time, "Journey to the West" was a great success. It not only received enthusiastic response in China and became a childhood memory of several generations, but also won several awards in the world and has a strong influence in the whole of Asia.

Later, when the era of movies came, Huang Lun wanted to make a movie about Journey to the West, and He Pingan also used some personal relationships to help him connect.

But in the end, the project never got off the ground.

Huang Lun definitely didn't want to play around and do it casually.

But no one is willing to make a larger investment.

You say that the cost of foreign animation films is high, so they can earn back.

Looking at the domestic market, it has not yet become a climate at all, and it is not yet the time to do things like this.

You are a master, rightly so.

But we are businessmen.

Later, with Huang Lun's retirement, this incident was gradually forgotten by most people.

But He Ping'an still remembers it.

"Luo Mo can impress him?" He Pingan said with a smile.

"The movie is pretty good, do you want to watch it?" Zhong Lin asked.

"No, I'll go to the theater to watch it then." He Pingan said.

……..

……..

"The Return of the Great Sage" has passed the trial.

The efficiency of this review has left countless people in the industry speechless.

"How did you pass the trial at the speed of light?"

"Speechless, my film has been stuck for three months."

"Is your film produced under the guidance of the audit department?"

And the review of "The Return of the Great Sage" means that it should be finalized next.

Many people in the movie circle are curious, what date will this movie with the largest investment in Chinese comics ever be set?

The closest hot spots so far are New Year's Day and Spring Festival.

After that is the so-called Valentine's Day schedule, which is more suitable for romance movies, and it is not a popular schedule.

"The Return of the Great Sage" is scheduled for New Year's Day. As a New Year's Eve movie, it is actually a bit rushed.

The publicity cycle will be relatively short, which is okay.

After all, there is a long-cycle publicity method for a long cycle, and a short-cycle operation method for a short cycle.

The most important thing is that some movies have already been set for New Year's Eve.

Although it is not "full staff" yet, you will be relatively weak in arranging the film if you insert it in such a hurry at the moment.

You can still squeeze, but you can only squeeze in.

No matter how much you put your hot face on your cold butt, and push other people's butts in, you won't be able to get in much.

More knowledgeable industry insiders estimated that if "The Return of the Great Sage" is really going to be released on December 31, then its film production limit will be about 10%.

For a major production with an investment of more than 100 million yuan, with such a low schedule, even if the attendance rate is extremely high, it is still a loss.

Compared with the New Year's Eve, there are only a few days, and the box office is mainly concentrated on December 31 and January 1.

In the future, even if your box office performance is good and your word of mouth is also very good, it won't help if the theater chain raises your film schedule.

The statutory holidays are over, and the good times are waiting for no one.

Especially for this kind of animation movies, once a child reads a book, you still sell it!

Very few parents would take their children to the cinema to watch movies at night when their children are studying...

Therefore, many people speculate that "The Return of the Great Sage" should not consider the New Year's Eve file.

As for the Spring Festival.....

Who doesn't love Spring Festival stalls?

But, to put it bluntly—are you worthy?

Yes, every Spring Festival, there will definitely be animation movies released, and the theater will also reserve a part of the film schedule, so that children can also have fun.

However, the rankings are very low.

If it's a live-action movie, it's definitely too late if you want to be in the Spring Festival file so temporarily.

Anime movies may be able to get involved, but the rate of this film is definitely worrying.

If nothing else, not even 5%.

With about 3% of the movie lineup to squeeze into the Spring Festival stalls, facing a bunch of blockbuster movies and popular anime IP movies of the same theme, you "The Return of the Great Sage" are playing an egg.

The fighting during the Spring Festival is too intense, and it's not something newcomers like Luo Mo should consider.

Therefore, everyone feels that "The Return of the Great Sage" should be released on a good holiday after the Chinese New Year.

Start making arrangements now, and then make various connections, exchange various resources, and then make some compromises, maybe you can go to the summer vacation stalls that are comparable to the Spring Festival stalls to try the water.

With Luo Mo's own enormous energy and the terrifying commercial value he carries, as long as his network is well managed and the relationship goes well, he has more than half a year to plan, and it is not impossible to get an unexpected filming rate in the summer file. possible.

The Spring Festival stalls are too rushed.

When it comes to taking relationships, sometimes the emphasis is on "preparing for a rainy day".

When things come to an end, you go to someone, but no one will see you. The more anxious you are, the more anxious you are, the more people will try to control you, and the more they will shut you out first.

At this time, you will pay a lot of extra price.

Before things happen, you go for relationships, that's convenient and simple. Because at this time, it can only be regarded as making friends and pleasing, not asking for help.

Therefore, in the major group chats in the industry, many so-called professionals talked about "The Return of the Great Sage", conducted wave after wave of well-founded analysis, and finally came to the conclusion: "This film is still early, so we have to wait until it's released." next year."

There is nothing surprising about this. The box office of a movie, sometimes it doesn’t mean that if you shoot well, it must be high.

The right time, place and people are all particular about it.

It's nothing unusual to have hoarded it for more than half a year.

Except for some films that conform to the trend and must be released in a hurry, otherwise they will become obsolete, most people are willing to endure and wait.

It doesn't matter if the money comes slowly, because you are afraid of losing money, and you are afraid of no money coming!

Not many people know yet that Luo Mo's studio, Tong Guang's studio, and some of Xinyu's employees have already been dispatched.

Because the task given by Luo Mo is very difficult, but also very firm: ""The Return of the Great Sage" will be released during the Spring Festival!"

This requires contacting multiple theaters and negotiating.

It's just that it's in Luo Mo's style and way of talking.

……..

……..

On the other hand, Luo Mo finally waited for that teacher Yu from the drama school to come to audition for the role of "Auntie Guo" this afternoon.

Her whole person feels very close to this character.

Looking gentle and elegant, his body exudes an intellectual beauty.

This kind of gentle and dignified aunt may be the favorite of many people.

——"Mature Female Teacher Series".

When Luo Mo saw her, he thought in his heart: "It's well maintained. If she plays Aunt Guo, she will have to age a bit in terms of makeup and hair."

Yu Lijuan is undoubtedly also very interested in Luo Mo. This young man with a non-graduate background has become a well-known film and television actor, screenwriter, and director in a short period of time.

In the school, there are countless fans of Luo Mo. Many of her students either regard her as a dream lover-level male god, or regard her as an idol.

Yu Lijuan's main job is a teacher at the Drama Academy, and she occasionally acts in a play. Even so, she had heard too many rumors about Luo Mo in the circle.

To put it simply, Teacher Yu agreed to Ding Xiaoyu's audition invitation, not because of the drama "The Beginning", but simply because she was curious about Luo Mo.

As a teacher of the School of Drama, she really wanted to see how much Luo Mo, who had been blown away by many people, weighed.
